stinking ass / lugubrious game

I take my stand. I have no other choice - thus pursuing this bestial hilarity to its extreme - but to lift my heart to Dali, and to grunt like a pig before his canvases.

paranoiac image

Paranoia
uses the outside world to make the most of an obsessive idea, with the
troubling particularity that the reality of this idea becomes evident to
others. The reality of the outside world serves as an illustration and
proof, and is put into the services of the reality of our mind. All
doctors agree in recognizing the speed and the inconceivable subtlety
frequently observed in the paranoiac, who, taking advantage of the
motives and the facts of such shrewdness that they escape normal people,
arrives at the conclusions often impossible to contradict or reject,
and who, in any case, almost always defies psychological analysis. It is
by a clearly paranoiac process that it has been possible to obtain a
double image: that is to say the representation of an object which,
without the least figurative or anatomical modification, is at the same
time the representation of another absolutely different object itself
also stripped of any kind of deformation or abnormality which might
disclose this arrangement. It has been possible to obtain such a double
image thanks to the violence of paranoiac thought which, with ruse and
skill, has made use of the necessary quantity of pretexts, coincidences,
etc. taking advantage of them to make the second image appear which, in
this case, takes the place of the obsessive idea. The double image
(which, for example, may be the image of the horse which is at the same
time the image of a woman) can be prolonged, continuing the paranoiac
process, the existence of another idea being then sufficient to make a
third image appear (the image of the lion, for example) and so on to the
extent of a number of images limited solely by the degree of paranoiac
capacity of one's thoughts.

The paranoiac-critical method is a surrealist technique developed by Salvador Dalí in the early 1930s. He employed it in the production of paintings and other artworks, especially those that involved optical illusions and other multiple images.The aspect of paranoia that Dalí was interested in and which helped inspire the method was the ability of the brain to perceive links between things which rationally are not linked. Dalí described the paranoiac-critical method as a "spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based on the critical and systematic objectivity of the associations and interpretations of delirious phenomena."

Employing the method when creating a work of art uses an active process of the mind to visualize images in the work and incorporate these into the final product. An example of the resulting work is a double image or multiple image in which an ambiguous image can be interpreted in different ways.The information above is what i found when i scan a qrcode on the wall in a art museum.
